So it was my turn to get flamed at AO3, I guess. I don't want to make my stories only available to people with accounts, so you have to take the bad with the good, I guess. Granted, it's an old story and a bit over the top, but a piece of garbage? I'm not the best writer but I'm sure as hell not the worst. I've written some awkward stuff, but I've never, ever written a piece of garbage.

I got:that was disturbing and didn't make any sense at all. Hopefully your writing is better now, because this is not good at all, not only in regard of the content and charactarization, but the whole story and setting is an unlogical mess. Now I have to take a bath in holy-water clensing myself and washing away all that filth from this piece of garbage.

Thanks Pandora!

My opinion? Folks get bored and decide to go be assholes at sites like this. They know that comments like this can be hurtful and I think they do this hoping that they hurt someone, make them doubt themselves. They're probably pretending to be decent folks in public. Sites like this let them be the terrible people they really are.

Comments

That is so rude and undeserved. Just because it wasn't her cup of tea for whatever mood she was in doesn't mean she's entitled to dump on you. Holy crackers, whatever happened to you don't like you move along.
Asshat! That is so hurtful and completely unnecessary.
((((Hugs you))))
I LOVE your writing! Don't you ever stop!

This is so nasty, what a bitch! If she found your story so awful why carry on reading? And to say "Now I have to take a bath in holy-water clensing myself and washing away all that filth from this piece of garbage." is just horrible. She should take a bath in holy-water to cleanse the garbage from her nasty mind.

Ugh thats so rude and completely unnecessary. Its writing available for free on the internet, if its not ticking the readers buttons theres a million other things out there to look at. Thats just really spiteful and petty. Im sorry you had to put up with that; theres some lame people out there with nothing better to do with their time than drag down someone who makes an effort to provide some cool fanworks for their chosen media. Just.. ugh. Sorry.

Roxy, where? I want to go scold them for being a poopyhead. They are at the very least ignorant (charitable), stupid, and dumb.

You never wrote garbage in your life--well, first draft, maybe, or discarded ideas, but they were never posted or shared, and don't count. Wanker.

'unlogical'? Me fail English? Unpossible!

Obviously not a Star Trek fan.

[bubblesbrnaid]

Nobody who spells that poorly and doesn't know there's not a dash in "holy water" has any call to be throwing stones. Also, the word is "illogical," not "unlogical." What *are* they teaching these kids nowadays?

The first sentence borders on neutral--I've actually gotten a couple of reviews like that--but after that, it's just being mean for the sake of being mean.

(This actually kind of reminds me of the review I got the other week when the reviewer *argued* with me about what the plot of the story was about.)

[rockstarpeach.livejournal.com]

Well, you know.

If you're going to write shit that's all unlogical, you really bring it on yourself :P

[impala-chick.livejournal.com]

Ugh, that seems so random and hateful. What an internet troll, just hoping to bring people down. :( If people don't like fic, they can just click away!

[luvmax1.livejournal.com]

Consider it a badge of honor.

[wind-storms.livejournal.com]

Ugh, ugh, ugh. When it comes to leaving fic reviews, I always go by the old adage 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'. That's what the back button is for, after all.

Despite that, I'm very sorry this happened to you. I'm sure the fic didn't deserve that. I would've deleted the comment, but good for you for replying in such a manner. Hopefully they will learn something and think twice before being a hateful little troll again. Please don't let one rude person get you down or discourage you from writing.

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

This had to be a troll. What a jerk! I swear, people will say shit online that they would never EVER say to someone's face! *HUGS*

[tasabian.livejournal.com]

What a jerk. I'm sure that troll has left a Trail of Nasty right across AO3. You are wise to not let it get to you.

[casey28.livejournal.com]

Ugh, what a rude comment! Very "unlogical". I'll never understand why some commenters behave this way. I'm sorry this happened to you. *hugs*

[dawnybee.livejournal.com]

Pandora, was it?





What an overexcitable person she is. Forget the holy water, she needs to take her barely legible and literate fanfiction scrawled in her Lisa Frank notebooks that she can't even bring herself to post on Fanfiction.Net complete with the misused "there", "their" and "they're" and poorly written pron that she only knows about from watching her hamsters have sex and from reading the first form writing style of E.L James and take a dip Lake Minnetonka while sipping on a piping hot cuppa shut the eff up and sit the eff down, that trick. What nerves. But it's a good thing thing a lioness doesn't concern herself with the opinions of a sheep.

[tabaqui]

Yup. The anonymity of the interwebz makes some people become utter fuckwits.

Just so you know, you are awesome, and in RL? You could thrash that jerk six ways to sunday. They'd never have ovaries to face you.
*smooches you all up and down*

You're the best, bb.

Now I'm wondering

What story was it, and what thing that was going around in SV? I mean, there were some weird tropes and trends that turned up over the course of 10 years, but I remember your stuff being pretty good, or at least highly readable even when it was weird. And unless it was seriously AU, the setting isn't remotely your doing--perils of fanfic! :)

I swear there needs to be an "I am not an asshole" test before people can access the internet. Grrrr!!!!

It always amuses me when someone posts criticizing someone else's writing and their response if full of misspelled words. Yep, that makes you seem so intelligent and gives 100% credence to your opinion. :P

No matter what that ninny thinks, we all love you and think you are the awesomest of awesome!

*hugs* ♥

[elwarre.livejournal.com]

crikes!!! unecessary, undeserved, and totally RUDE. I'm so sorry you have to deal with such nonsense. pretty please don't let such idiots keep you from writing!

[gingersnap1224.livejournal.com]

People like that make my teeth hurt. They are beneath us and we shall think of them no more.

All hail Roxy!

[jesseofthenorth.livejournal.com]

The world is well populated with opinionated dick heads, clearly. Thankfully it is also well populated with non-assholes or at the very leat asshole-neutrals.
By which I mean to say this dumbass is entitled to their extremely ignorant opinion. Even if they are way off the mark thinking unsolicited criticism is okay. Oh well fuck 'em. I think you are awesome

[somersault-j.livejournal.com]

I haven't read through the other comments, so this will probably be a repeat.

Yep, this comment, as you said yourself, was just to hurt you. No constructive criticism at all. Probably haven't even read the story. I hope that you've deleted it by now. Just delete it and be done with it. That sort of ignorance hurts THEM the most!

*hugs*

[bradygirl_12]

People like this are the Internet version of chicken hawks. They would never dare to say such twaddle to your face. I vote troll looking for a rise from you. They got one, only it was turned back on them instead of you screaming hysterically that you're going to take the fic down. You answered calmly, coolly and awesomely! :)

[agent-jl36.livejournal.com]

I'd love to remind people that leave those types of hate responses that they were not forced to read anything. Not your cuppa tea? Ok, move on to another story. Have something constructive to say? OK! Let's talk about it! ARGH!
